hey,

you can appear in gate exam from any subject. different iits has different rules for subject option. like iit kharagpur does not allow other branches of engineering to do mtech in computer science field. you need to appear in gate from cse paper to do mtech. this is because syllabus is different in different iits. r please check the official websites of iits to know about the eligibility criteria.

The placement ratio is around 90-95% and above. The average package to a MTech post graduate is around 8-10 lakhs where the highest salary to some goes as high as 20-25 lakhs. At the end it depends on the student that is you only about how you are going to excel in the 2 years of education and how you impress them in the interview rounds, so best of wishes to you. Thank you.

Hii aspirants 

Let me clear your doubt. 

In gate the question comes from the what you study in 2nd 3rd and 3th year. Since now you are in 2nd year  3rd sem you dont know even basic of topic. So first of all study your subject topic throughly so that it will be helpful for you to solve gate question easily. So to start preparation of gate 3rd year is best. But one more thing you can do that atfirst see the slybuss of gate and try to solve the problem of  the topic which you have studied in 3rd sem. 

But i will suggest if you want to join coaching for gate preparation then join in 3rd year. 

I hope my answer will be helpful for you Good luck 

Hello there! 

Greetings! 

EI stands for electronics and instrumentation and it primarily focussing on the principles and operations of measuring instruments used in the design and configuration of automated system. It is the basis of mechatronics and robotics engineering.
While EC stands for electronics and commuciaction enginnering .
EC  branch teaches Electronics and its applications in Communication both analog and digital, it mainly belong to electronnics with communication instruments and technology like bluetooth infrared bandwidth's etc!! satellite communication etc .

Thankyou 

Hello aspirant!!

Diploma candidates has eligibility to join into any of the Engineering branches. So you have eligibility to join in Electronics and Instrumentation branch in Engineering. The diploma candidates have entry into B.Tech in 2nd year of Engineering Course. So don't worry you have eligibility to join in that branch.

All the Best.
